[aruna1]

Hi
can someone point me or instruct me on how to change black hair to any other colur like green red etc.
I was able to change colour of lighter colur hair but failed to do so with black hair,
I'm using photoshop CS5
thank you

I have done this before and I will tell you it is very fun to do. Just select the magic wand tool and highlight the hair, then click on the "Hue/Saturation" then "Colorize", and manipulate the color according to your desire

It will work, use the lightness slider first.

ya it works.but then it doesnt look natural anymore.i mean it looks like I used paint brush on hair

In the layers pallet try using different blending modes after you make your changes you might be able to achieve a more natural look that way.

Maybe you being to heavy handed with the sliders.

You're not going to make a blond from black hair but you question was any other color.
